Knowledge is knowing tomato is a fruit.Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.

Apparently when my friend's daughter was 9 years old she said "When I grow up I want to be just like Aunt Hurricane. I want....NO KIDS....and my own cool place....with all my own cool stuff.....just like Aunt Hurricane."

When I wore a pretty skirt to church my little guy said "OOoh! Boo-ih-ful, Mommy!" <3 My middle child often tells me I still look like a teenager and I ask "What do you want" jokingly before saying thank you. My older two boys have told me they love my hugs.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars. You have a right to be here. Be cheerful, strive to be happy. -Desiderata

DS (16) is at the breaking away stage, but isn't quite organized enough to have everything together yet.

He sent me a text message Thursday, asking for a copy of his passport to be sent, so he could use it to cash his paycheck at the bank. I sent it, and received a "thanks, Mom" then later a "you're the best". From a non-effusive 16 year old, that is pretty awesome. He was also very excited about the kind of car we rented for our upcoming trip, I'm not sure why.
